Why bor rhymes the way it does
The phonology of bor is a one-syllable core: the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/), then it trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 112 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 559, assonance 3,751, and consonance 806. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Bor rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
